DEONTAY WILDER has released another training video ahead of his trilogy fight against Tyson Fury, with trainer Malik Scott seemingly mimicking The Gypsy King’s style.
Wilder, 35, has put an undisputed clash between Fury and Anthony Joshua on hold after an arbitrator sided with the American in a dispute over whether he had the contractual right to a third fight.
And with Fury’s team unwilling to pay him step aside money to pave the way for an all-British dust-up, a trilogy clash with Wilder now appears to be set for July 24 at the Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.
Wilder has already released a video of him training for the fight by throwing massive lumps of wood around by a lake.
Now his trainer Scott has posted another clip of the former world champion hitting the pads while he appears to replicate the jittery, awkward style of Fury.
Scott is a former heavyweight boxer himself, retiring with a professional record of 38 wins, three defeats and one draw.
One of his losses came to Wilder back in 2014 when he was flattened in just 90 seconds.
Fury and Wilder fought to a controversial draw back in 2018, before the Brit destroyed his rival in their rematch last year, stopping him in the seventh round after a vicious beatdown.
And the WBC champion’s promoter Bob Arum confirmed earlier this week that they would not be paying Wilder to make way for a Joshua fight.
Arum told Boxing Social: “There’s no chance he [Wilder] will step aside.

“Whatever it is, the judge said he had a right to the rematch and we are going to go ahead with it. It will definitely be in Las Vegas.
“It is what it is. He will take out his frustration and anger on Wilder and he tells me he will knock Wilder out quicker than he did last time.”
Meanwhile, Joshua is set to face WBO mandatory challenger Oleksandr Usyk in the summer due to plans for a Fury clash looking dead in the water.
The undefeated Ukrainian became undisputed cruiserweight champion before moving up to heavyweight.

His most notable win so far in the blue-riband division came against Dereck Chisora back in October when he won by unanimous decision.
And Arum is not convinced Joshua beats Usyk to set up a Fury fight at the end of the year.
Speaking to IFL TV, the 89-year-old added: “I think Joshua has his hands full with Usyk, I give Usyk a hell of a chance to beat Joshua in that fight.
“Hopefully Tyson comes through and we can do the unification fight in December of this year.”
